WATCH: Christian Bale’s Early Audition for Batman Begins

Some diehard Batman fans either loved Christian Bale’s gravelly voiced take on The Dark Knight’s voice. Or some people found it extremely comical. Either way, folks grew to appreciate Bale’s three movie run as DC’s most revered detective/superhero – Batman. The video you’ll watch above is an early look at Bale as Batman. It’s crazy to see the Batman that debuted in Batman Begins was first represented with a toned down voice. Plus, it’s super cool to see Christian Bale sporting the Batman outfit that Val Kilmer rocked in Batman Forever.
